I've loved animals since I was young, and as an adult I had 1 cat who passed away in 2019, and I currently have a 14-yr old orange tabby named Rothstein. I was first a dog lover, and although I haven't had a dog yet, I dogsat for several friends and family over the years so I'm aware of their needs and likes. I hope to own a Husky one day! Also, you should know that while my sweet calico was alive she had some medical problems so I became versed in how to care for a pet with special needs.
